What makes the Comforpedic IQ so different?

The first thing I noticed was that the comforpedic series are a memory foam type of mattress including this one. The IQ however has air chambers inside of the mattress that transfers air throughout the whole mattress.

Lets say you lie on your back for a while and you decide to turn to your side. The first thing that will happen is that some of the air in the chambers will move to the area where more comfort is required. This will ensure that you have a straight spine while you sleep and is great for people with back pain.

The Comforpedic IQ can also be called the “smart” mattress because of this unique property its got. This mattress can also be recommended for people with insomnia because you will not wake up that much during the night if you switch to another sleeping position.

What is the difference between the type plush and type firm mattress?

Type Firm

The best mattress for someone who wants a firm mattress without it being too hard. This type gives the most support and has a very tight feel to it. If you are mainly a back or stomach sleeper then this type is for you. I would not recommend this type to any side sleepers.

Type Plush

This type is a bit softer than the firm and gives less support. This type has almost a marshmallow type of feel and is the intermediate type that is not too soft for a back or stomach sleeper and is not too hard for a side sleeper. This mattress is best for someone who does not have a primary position and who sleeps on all sides.

It is so important to know what type of sleeper you are before buying any mattress, because you might just be very unhappy with your purchase.

Some of the Comforpedic IQ mattress reviews

Entry level

This is the basic entry level and does not have some of the features that the higher end models have. This level has a smooth quilt design that feels soft and is very comfortable. Below the quilt there is a layer of ultra cool memory foam and below that layer there is another layer of Aircool memory foam. The aircool memory foam is an open cell memory foam that helps air to move through the mattress more effectively. This helps in temperature regulation and is much cooler. Below the comfort layers there is Smart Response Technology Foam Chambers that helps the mattress to adapt to your movements. Below the chambers you will get a transflexed core that is pre-stressed so that there is no break in period for the core.

Short Description: This is a firm type mattress that is best for someone that is mainly a back or a stomach sleeper.

Short Description: This mattress is more comfortable for side sleepers than the Scholar Firm mattress. This mattress has the right comfort for all type of sleepers. The reason why it is softer is because this mattress has a 3″ thick layer of aircool memory foam while the Scholar firm has a 2″ thick layer.

Mid Level Mattress

These mattresses have the same features than the entry level but in addition it has 2 extra features. The Enlightened Luxury Firm Mattress has an extra layer of AirCool Memory Foam with Micro Gel Touch that helps to regulate heat better and to increase the durability of the mattress. The Micro Gel Touch also gives more pressure relief and decreases motion transfer between couples. The second feature comes from the Beautyrest Comforpedic IQ Exceptional Plush mattress that has an extra layer of 1/2″ Comfort Response Latex in the place of the Micro Gel Touch memory foam. This material acts like an antimicrobial and is also dust mite resistant if you are health conscious.

Short Description: This is a type firm mattress that is best for someone that is a back or a stomach sleeper. If you are a side sleeper I would prefer a softer mattress.

The High End Mattresses

This line is the most luxurious in the comforpedic IQ series and is also the most expensive. Let me tell you why. The feature that makes this mattress so expensive is the micro diamond infused memory foam. You heard right. This mattress has micro diamond particles that has some benefits. Firstly it helps with blood circulation and also with heat management. It also has the best support available. The following 2 mattresses have this feature.
